June 2022 G-01483.84-017-R-Rev0 Because the 15 Allophane content Allophane describes a range of minerals associated with volcanic ash-derived soils. The allophane content was assessed in a single sample within the WNDD007 drillhole, described in Table 3 below. Table 3: Results of allophane content test of sample from WNDD007. Sample Reference Depth (m bgl) Description Allophane content WNDD007 4.0 – 4.3 Sandy SILT, some clay 5 % to 7 % 5.1.2 Shear Vane Testing Shear vane testing was undertaken within the test pits and results are presented in the test pit logs provided by GHD (WFT015-038). A summary of the results is presented in Table 4 below. The peak value provides a measure of shear strength for the undisturbed material, and the remoulded value provides a measure of the residual shear strength of the material. Table 4: Results of shear vane testing of soils exposed in test pits at Willows Road Farm.
